Mixing MASH and Bifrost for Some Cool Effects

Phil Radford Experiments With Maya’s MASH and Bifrost to Create Some Interesting Effects

Maya’s MASH has come a long way since its inception, and with the latest integrations, works well with most all tools in Maya. The motion graphics toolkit, as with dynamics in Maya offers an excellent playground for experimentation. 3D Artist Phil Radford (@Strangebox_ltd) heads up one such experiment mixing both MASH and Bifrost fluid effects.

Radford Uses Bifrost to create a fluid animation moving along a path. Meshing the fluids result, the next step was to add a MASH network to stick objects to the original simulation. Working with fluid effects as an underlying base for MASH is an exciting premise that can open up new possibilities.
